The Destructive Kavanaugh Hearings will lead to Impeachment

The Democrats are obviously preparing case for the impeachment of Kavanaugh. To explain they are portraying Kavanaugh as unfit for the court to justify his removal.
I think a Kavanaugh impeachment is probable – if Democrats get control of the Senate in 2019 or 2021. The Constitution provides for Supreme Court impeachment; even though it has not occurred since 1805. Tellingly, politics motivated the last Supreme Court Impeachment that of Samuel Chase.
Interestingly, there is another good reason for Democrats to impeach Kavanaugh. It enables them to avoid impeaching President Donald J. Trump (R-New York).
In the first place, the Democratic base is howling for blood and screaming for impeachment. Obviously, Congress can placate the mob by throwing a prominent Republican to it.
Additionally, impeaching a Supreme Court Justice who could serve 40 or 50 years makes far more sense removing a President. To clarify, the president only serves four to eight years. Accordingly, a Kavanaugh impeachment is far more logical than a Trump impeachment.
